The conference is sponsored by Elsevier and the Molecular Graphics and Modelling Society and will be co-organized by Graham Richards, Art Olson, Rod Hubbard and Barry Hardy. MGMS EC-1 will be a fully international event open to all members of the scientific community and will cover a broad range of disciplines related to molecular modelling, graphics and simulation methods and applications. Conference subject areas are: Protein Structure; Membranes and Membrane Proteins; Bioinformatics; Computational Nanotechnology; Protein Folding; Modelling of In Vivo Activity; Knowledge-based Library Design; Surface Science; Host-guest interactions; Carbohydrates; Enzyme Mechanisms; Conformational Analysis; Nucleic Acids; Quantum Chemistry; Car-Parrinello Methods and Applications; Structure-based Design; Visualization; and Perspectives. Each subject area has a section convener who will screen abstracts sent by authors for suitability. Authors can opt to submit a non-permanent presentation like a normal conference poster or a presentation which will be refereed and considered for publication in the Journal of Molecular Graphics. Referees will be appointed by the section conveners. Presentations must be prepared in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), graphics (GIF,JPEG) and other Web-compatible formats (VRML,Java,PDF) so that participants can view the papers via the World Wide Web. Aid and consultation will be provided to participants in the months prior to the event to help them with their presentation (Email:mgmsorg@bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk). Further details will be given in the authors' guide accessible via the URL: http://bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk/mgms/ During the conference discussions will take place via the Internet in real-time using a virtual conference centre based on a MOO (multiple-user domain, object oriented) and via Internet-accessible electronic mailing lists. Trial sessions for those not familiar with MOOs will be held before the conference. During the conference, a timetable for MOO discussion sessions of each section will be posted. Since these realtime discussions are an integral part of the conference, authors will be expected to attend one for their subject; the right is reserved not to referee submissions by authors who do not attend one of these sessions. The Conference will feature a Virtual Trade Center where commercial vendors, software and hardware developers, consultants, and contractors will be able to display their goods and services and provide software demonstrations in return for exhibition fees to support conference activities. Any potential exhibitors should contact Barry Hardy at barry@bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk ******************* DEADLINES AND DATES 1) DO NOW - The MGMS mailing list Conference-related news and announcements will be posted regularly to the MGMS mailing list (http://bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk/hypermail/mgms/). If you wish to subscribe to the MGMS list send the following one line message to majordomo@bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk: subscribe mgms@bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk your_email@address your_name 2) DO NOW - Registration The deadline for registration is Sept 15th 1996. Early registration is strongly encouraged to aid the efficient operation of the conference including the establishment of timely access to the conference. If you intend to participate in MGMS EC-1 please use the registration form accessible via http://bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk/mgms/ which will be available for electronic registration starting April 22. The electronic registration will be used to construct a registrant database for the conference which will generate the conference mailing list and handle assignment of userids and passwords. In addition it is necessary to pay for registration via ordinary means: The conference fee will be 35 pounds sterling (50 US dollars) with a special rate for students of 20 pounds sterling (30 US dollars). A copy of a suitable student identification or a letter from the supervisor will be required to be charged at the lower rate. Cheques or bank orders (in pounds or dollars) should be made out to Greenlea Communications and mailed to: Dr. Barry Hardy, Physical and Theoretical Chemistry Laboratory, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3QZ, UK Please supply your complete name, address, fax and phone numbers, and email address in your correspondence. A conference userid and password will be forwarded to you. It is hoped to establish a credit card clearing service in May and information will be provided at the conference site in due course. Academic registrants from economically-disadvantaged countries can write to Barry Hardy requesting an exemption to the registration fee. Exemptions will be made on a discretionary basis taking into account the reasons given for the request and will be dependent on suitable funds being available. We will consider economically disadvantaged countries to include those of Eastern Europe, Africa, Central and South America, Indian sub-continent, etc. 3) DEADLINE for receipt of ABSTRACT. The deadline for receipt of presentation abstracts is July 1. Email your abstract directly to the appropriate section convener listed below. Fuller details of the scope of each section will be given in the authors' guide accessible via http://bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk/mgms/ Your abstract should be no longer than 300 words. And remember to state which category of presentation (non-permanent poster or refereed paper) you wish. If you are unsure as to which section your abstract is suitable for, please email a possible section convener or Barry Hardy (barry@bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk). Section conveners do have the discretion to reject abstracts, ask for revisions to an abstract or to send the abstract to the convener of a more suitable section. 4) DEADLINE for receipt of PRESENTATION The deadline for receipt of papers and posters is Sept 15th. You must deposit your text and graphics files at the conference ftp site for presentation at the conference. Ftp instructions are provided at the conference site. Hard copies of final refereed papers following the format of the Journal of Molecular Graphics should be sent by Dec 1 to: Graham Richards, Journal of Molecular Graphics, Physical & Theoretical Chemistry Lab, Sth Parks Rd, University of Oxford, Oxford, OX1 3QZ, UK. Journal guidelines will be posted at http://bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk/mgms/ Although there is no limit to the graphics authors choose to display in their conference presentation, the editor reserves the right to limit the number of free colour figures in each printed journal article. 5) Refereeing Period The refereeing period will commence upon completion of the conference. If you have a presentation at MGMS EC-1 you may be requested to contribute a refereeing evaluation on another conference presentation. Referee reports will be due November 15. ******************* SECTIONS AND SECTION CONVENERS (Please email section conveners with questions related to your particular section and presentation.
